The Me of Yesterday and the Me of Today: Reflections and Interpretations of Contemporary Historiography
by Yang Nianqun
About This Novel
This book is a collection of contemporary historical research papers that comprehensively reflects on and explains the application of various Western historical trends in Chinese history. The author also proposes that new ideas for expanding the advancement of history need to draw on the "middle-range theory" of sociology from an interdisciplinary perspective. This book is not only the quintessence of the author's continuous thinking on this issue in the past two decades, but also a fruitful attempt by the historians to establish a new research paradigm. By reflecting on and interpreting contemporary historical research, the author shares with more scholars the research literacy with a global perspective, the research ideas that analyze the dynamics and complexity of things, and the research methods that transcend the barriers of disciplines and specialties. This is reflected in the macro perspective of thinking about political dynamics and social development under the changes in contemporary ideological trends, and the micro perspective of going deep into society to observe life with a sense of problem, in order to hone historians' problem awareness and insight beyond local events.
